“Am I a good father?” It’s a question that bounces around the heads and hearts of every man who is a dad. From delivery day up to today, that question lingers, and sometimes haunts, every man who is a dad. How are we doing as men who follow Jesus and go to church on a regular basis as a relates to being a dad? 83% of families don’t pray together. 78% of dad’s aren’t teaching Scripture at home 33% rarely give to the church (Source: manhoodjourney.org) The reality of it is, you’re probably not nearly as bad as you think, but also probably could be doing a lot better as well! See below the free report that is available that talks about the state of fatherhood in the church: https://manhoodjourney.org/state-of-biblical-fatherhood/ On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome longtime friend and guest of the show, Kent Evans of Manhood Journey. He talks about their finding of what men are saying about themselves as dads. And, what they can do to move the needle in the direction of becoming the dad they desire to be, the dad their family wants them to be, and most of all, who God desires them to be.
